'Millionaire Boy Racers' show on Channel 4 uncovers the wealthy Arabs who fly their supercars to London

The programme looks at the Gulf Arab playboys who transport their Ferraris and
Bugattis to London every summer, where their noisy engines and wild driving
infuriate residents living in the capital's wealthiest boroughs.

Many fly their vehicles over, and are a familiar sight in areas such as Knightsbridge. The spectacle of gleaming Bugattis, Ferraris and Lamborghinis draws the attention of onlookers but the ire of residents.

Locals claim the Metropolitan Police are not doing enough to stop the young men from driving dangerously and performing stunts known as drifting, when they deliberately slide their cars around tight corners. Others say their sleep is disturbed by the roar of powerful engines.

But those who are accused of driving their cars recklessly claim local residents have never complained to them personally.

Abdul Aziz Rashid, 27, who comes to the UK every year in a supercar, said: “I hear the residents always complain but they don't come to me to complain. If anyone complains about something I will respect it and try to fix it.

“We are foreigners here and we just come to have a good time and we always want to come here and not cause trouble or problems. If anybody speaks to me and asks me not to do something then I will not do it.”

Another, Abdul Aziz Al Rashed, who brought his £250,000 Lamborghini Aventador to London last summer said: “All of my friends were sad about having to go back to Kuwait. We had fun for three months and I'm sad that I have to leave to go back to the desert.”

Millionaire Boy Racers will be broadcast on 3 January on Channel 4 at 10pm.
